Video: Consequence f. John Legend & Kanye West, “Whatever U Want’
- story Peter Macia
Alright, let’s say you’re Consequence. You’re the ultimate G.O.O.D. team player, you happily give Kanye your best lyrics, you never complain when you’re own album gets little support and you never blow up any spots that aren’t meant to be blown. At least that’s how it will be as long as Kanye, John and Hype continue to fly you down to Miami to shoot consumer cam videos with megababes. And free drinks.

Video: John Legend is Live Vlogging the Inauguration
- story THE FADER
After watching the mindblowing, nearly live, insider videos of the inaugural festivities that John Legend is posting on John Legend TV (Barack doing the “Single Ladies” hand thing with Beyonce, Al Gore kicking it, etc), we’ve decided that this dude is alright. (via Daily Swarm)
Freeload: John Legend f. Buju Banton, “Can’t Be My Lover”
- story THE FADER
John Legend is usually a little too refined for us ruffians at the FADER dot com, but this bonus track on his new album, Evolver (in stores October 28th), has two burning guest verses by Buju Banton and was produced by Supa Dups of Black Chiney Soundsystem. So, just this once (and repeatedly in the privacy of our candlelit bathrooms), we will post him up and dance like we have a business meeting in an hour.

Freeload: John Legend f. Andre 3000 “Green Light (Afroganic Remix)”
- story THE FADER
By some serendipitous twist of fate, we ended up checking John Legend’s new clip for “Green Light” on MTV only a few minutes after his triumphant DNC performance. Talk about highs and lows. Even with a too-brief shot of Andre 3K strutting inside a martini glass, Legend’s buppie-ed out liquor commercial music video is one of the more uninspired clips to hit in a minute, a party video minus the party, serious ZZZZZs. Which is a shame, because the song is an honest jam (again, praise due to Three Stacks. Medusa? Robin Givens? Style-freein? This is why we love you!). Fortunately the UK’s Afroganic crew come through in the nick of time with this one-drop reggae re-imagining. Give it a listen, and all that khaki colored grossness just drifts away…and if that doesn’t work, there’s always Sesame Street.
